6.19 SH 1000 顺利通过，学习媒体 自费 工作四年了 补充我的“中国媒体分析”报告

kevencaoUID: 2190705

哈哈，今天真的特别高兴，一年来最高兴的一天。

因为我工作了，又自费，没有奖学金真是让我极度不爽哦。

具体问了什么，我就不说了，因为每个人情况不同。就说说需要注意的地方吧。特别针对工作过，自费的同学。


1、放松心情的好方法
我排队排了好久好久，一直到11点才轮到我。来签证的人真的好多，这让我突然一点也不紧张了。
如果你怕紧张，千万找个人攀谈一下，我就和一个去读本科的mm交流了很久，这样可以放松心情。

2、材料中要凸显自己的优势，要自信
我的同学是记者，她曾经和美国的VO混过一阶段，她说VO喜欢你是个牛人。你千万不要让VO感觉你去美国为了脱贫，而要让VO感觉，你在中国有非常好的生活和前景，去美国是为了更好。
因此我准备的材料时就突出了这点，虽然我并不是牛人，是个土人。呵呵，却活生生把自己描述成了一个赚钱机器。
我把我的工作，full-time， part－time，做了详细的介绍。并把自己的作品截图后，打印出来，厚厚一打。
她问起我的工作时，我就统统塞给她看了。她看的非常认真，每一页都看。

3、签之前，根据自己的优势和劣势，做周密的解释，然后组织成语言。自己对着自己说。
如果是资金有问题的，比如说借来的，自己想想有啥方式可以解释的。
这个就要自己打开思路想了，天无绝人之路。但别去搞假证明哦。

总结，工作的同学，一定要把工作上的资料准备充分了，别就一张薄薄的resume，工作那么久了，肯定有所成就，统统地带上。



顺便提一句，还是有拒签的。11号窗口那个亚裔帅哥就好凶，特别是对一个胖子说话，声音好响。问了那个胖子很久，然后就拒了他。看他灰溜溜地走了。真可怜。


祝各位好运！
了解自己，才能成功！

手机，mp3是不可以带进去的。要么花钱在美琪旁边寄包，要么就让人陪你在外等着。
包也不可以带，只能带塑料袋或者布头包包。

穿着急得要干净整齐，别很寒酸的样子。
男生别P，我今天就看到一个发型很P的，好像他上次是被拒的，今天估计是2000。不知道这回过了没？

我今天最大的失误，就是D156的条形码没有，估计被我当草稿纸，扔掉了。
还好我带着U盘，里面有D156的PDF文件，去那个美琪旁边寄包的地方打印的，花了20元。
如果全部重新打印的，要花150。真会赚钱啊！

所以表格还是检查清楚哦。

我探出来头来弱弱地为亚裔GG平反一下 其实亚裔GG人还是很不错的 一般不会恶意拒签的 我昨天也去签了 看到此GG开始吓了一跳 因为他的发型越来越彪悍了 此前曾在一非签证场合见过他一次 感觉人还是很和蔼害羞一人啊 总的来说 亚裔GG很讲道理的 也比较耐心  只要你材料齐全  他不会故意找茬的.
祝大家好运:loveliness:

看到还是有被拒的朋友，我想把我的这份报告补上，虽然VO没问我这个，但希望对其他学媒体制作的朋友有用。
以下谈不上研究，是我从收集，整理的。
记的自己好好写study plan，我觉得写好study plan，就可以把自己各方面整理清楚了。挺有用的。

Analysis on China’s Media Industry, Especially on New Media Field

Morgan Stanley: China leapfrogging to become major media nation

A new research report issued by Morgan Stanley on China's media shows that China's media industry is full of vigor and China is leapfrogging to become a global leading media country.
Morgan Stanley's Chinese internet and media analytical group published its latest research report on China's media industry. The report indicates that China has more than 3,000 TV channels, more than 2,000 newspapers and more than 9,000 magazines. At present, China's TV viewers, newspaper circulation and number of under-30 netizens all top the world. In the last ten years, China's ad placement jumped nearly sixfold, while at the same time China's GDP grew threefold and America's ad placements merely increased twofold.
Relevant person from Morgan Stanley's media group said that although China's media industry is still at an early growth stage, one can project that it will be one of the fastest growing industries in China. This projection is based on two factors. The first is that more than one billion Chinese consumers will gradually change their focus from requiring basic daily necessities to requiring information and entertainment. Second, China's per capita advertising expenditure works out to be US$1, a mere 2.3% of the comparable figure in the U.S.
The report also projects that China's media industry will exhibit four major trends: first, the further convergence of traditional and new media; second, entertainment content will enjoy favorable development space under the environment of "harmonious society" that is being promoted by the Chinese government; third, the current media advertising revenue model will change to results-based rather than time-based charges; fourth, high-quality content providers will enjoy stronger and stronger negotiating powers in the value chain of China's media industry.

New forms of new media are in vogue

Print is being overtaken by digital dreams: At the end of last year, the country had 110 million Internet users, with 64.3 million on broadband, and that number keeps growing. Last year was also the first time revenue for the print medium dipped significantly for some companies.

The rise of new media is being driven by a whirlwind of capital. Toodou.com, positioned as "a personal multimedia platform," raised more than US$100 million in venture capital in just 13 months after its founding. "We are still searching for a business model that will enable us to turn a profit," said Chen Weijia, marketing director. "The cost of handling multimedia content is much more expensive. For text, thousands of words may take up only a few kilobytes, but one second of a podcast will require a few megabytes. That's why we need to set up a stable platform for our users."

Competition in new media field

Old media gurus are not sitting idle either. They are taking action to defend their turf and more often than not jumping into the fray. A podcasting website, www.radio.cn, set up in July 2005, raised US$9 million from Softbank and US$1 million from WI Harper Group, leaving China National Radio with the controlling stake of 51 per cent.
In April, China Central Television (CCTV) launched its Internet protocol television (IPTV) service. "You can watch the hottest serial drama from the CCTV line-up, get the texts of their stories, behind-the-scenes snippets and interviews. You can also subscribe to a service and download photos and video segments from the shows to your mobile phone," said Cheng Hong, CCTV's deputy editor-in-chief. In the traditional media of television, CCTV holds a monopoly as the only national network, with 15 satellite channels. Last year, it earned 12.4 billion yuan (US$1.55 billion), of which 8.6 billion (US$1.08 billion) was from advertising.
By contrast, Hunan Satellite Television, with its runaway hit "Super Girls," picked up only 600 million yuan (US$75 million) in advertising.
But in the realm of new media, CCTV does not enjoy such a privileged position, as it has to compete with a slew of operators. Shanghai Media Group (SMG) got an IPTV license one year earlier than CCTV. And as content providers, they all have to fight for the platforms, in this case the cable networks controlled by local television stations.
Since new media content will gobble up bandwidth, cable operators who build and operate the "thick pipes" are in a better bargaining position. "It is unlikely anyone can dominate the market as in traditional television," said Cheng.
As television broadcasting has never been subject to ownership reform, private programming production companies have always been left to fight on their own and with no recourse to a platform. As a result, they have the incentive to embrace new media. Enlight Media Company established itself by producing a program with up-to-date reporting on the nation's entertainment scene and syndicating it to hundreds of television stations. Always on a prowl for new opportunities, Enlight branched into new media last year in the hope that its strength in television programming would cross over to Internet television. Nowadays it refuses to be identified as a "television content provider."
In 1994, when most Chinese knew little about the Internet, China Daily entered the digital age, becoming the country's first national newspaper to go online. Today, www.chinadaily.com.cn has about 6 million page views per day, is one of the top key media websites and its English forum has the largest number of registered users in the country. And it aims to become a leading multi-media news, information and service provider.

China's new media industrial base attracts foreign investment

Some famous businesses in the new media industry and software development from the United States and Europe have signed contracts of intention or agreements to invest in the National New Media Industry Base.

Located in Daxing, and outskirt district of Beijing, the base will focus on production of films and TV, online animation, publishing and press. It will mainly offer cultural products with independent intellectual rights to the mainstream viewers.

At present, some domestic and foreign film and TV producers and publishing & press institutions have settled there. It is predicted that the output value by 2010 will reach 10 billion yuan.

Lack of all-around new media artists in China

“New Media” was put forward in the U.S before 40 years ago, but it has been growing in China just in recent years. China has not established an integrated academic and education system of new media discipline, which leads to lack of all-around new media artists who are good at technology and art as well. Compared with the fast development of new media industry, the problem on the lack of all-around new media artists seems so serious.

Zhang Jian, officer of Ministry of Culture, said that China has many talents on computer technology, but creativity on art is our weakness.

Lots of talents will be becoming the cheap labors for foreign company, if they have no leading abilities of new media art and technology.

再补充这个

Study Plan


My study plan is for the graduate program in *****, and to pursue a M.A. degree in *****. My focused study area is New Media Production.

What is New Media?
New Media also can be called Interactive Media or Digital Media. It includes texts, graphics, animation, game, video and sound for computer networks, interactive software, the Internet, DVDs, and other electronic media. New Media can also be applied to exhibition.

Introduction of My Academic and Working Background
l         Academic Degree
I graduated from ***** University in ***** and was awarded both a B.E degree in ***** and a Second Bachelor degree in *****. （虽然第二学位很大卡！说还是要说的嘛！）

l         Full-Time Job
After graduation, I began to work at ***** which is ***** specializing in *****. My first position is*****, which lasts for one year. Then I was transferred to ***** as *****. Now I serves as the vice dean of this department. （把自己说好点，没错的，虽然俺们部门很小，这个小职务，我在DS表格里也填上了，给VO好印象）

l         Part-Time Job （也没做多少，渲染一下自己，还是有必要的，因为和专业有关系，还能赚钱。）
During these four years, I had made ***** as part-time jobs  

Reasons for Giving Up My Present Job and Life to Pursue a M.A. Degree（理由充分点，别让vo感觉你没思想，不过我其实也没啥大思想。）
l         Unsolvable Problems
Although I am well paid and actually have some opportunity to be promoted at *****, I find I am facing with lots of unsolvable professional problems in my work. （让vo感觉你在国内混得很好，这真的很重要，混的不好，也要说混的好。）How to develop ***** has become a big obstacle for me. For example, ***************. （举例很重要，VO又不专业，他们搞不清咱们是干啥得。吹嘘一下，我想没关系。）In addition, my boss always asked me to *****. I do have many ideas in my mind, but how to realize them is a problem for me. I think I need to widen my knowledge of new media field and learn more advanced technology on this area.

l         Losing Imagination and Creativity
I practiced ***** and ***** through non-stopping part-time work. However, I feel that I’m gradually losing my imagination and creativity as well. Producing a good art work need not only skills but some “unseen parts” as well. It is essential for me to study various media arts styles and enrich my life-experience to inspire creation. （我觉得增加生活经历，也是个好理由啊！我去美国，的确是想给自己一份非同寻常的经历，不知道大家是不是？）

l         My Dream
Great projects spark in my dream. Yet, my present job or my part-time job cannot give me such a chance to realize them. If I can master advanced knowledge of ***** at the forefront of media areas, and get a higher academic degree, it will be easier for me to realize this dream.

Reasons for Choosing a University in the U.S. to Continue My Academic Journey （对比一下中美的差异，否则去美国干嘛呀？）
l         Media Industry in the U.S.
As is known to all, the U.S. has the biggest and most advanced media industry in the world, and new media industry in the U.S has been developing faster than any other country. There are many famous professional websites which **********, like the website of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration). However, almost none exists in China until recent years.

l         New Media Discipline in the U.S.
The discipline of New Media at the universities of the U.S. has established an integrated education system. Despite the fact that more than 1,000 universities in China are trying to research into this discipline, they are still in its infant stage. Whatever its theory studies or education practices is very immature.

Reasons for Choosing ***** University（说出学校的特别之处，无论它有不有名，特别很重要。网上搜阿，肯定有介绍的。不特别也说成特别的）
l         A Unique University
*****University is the only comprehensive university in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to *****. It is internationally recognized for its excellence in its fields of specialization, which are *****

l         A Creative Community
At *****University, I will be surrounded by peers who are *****, and who, like me, have a desire to shape the future of their fields. I look forward to studying in such atmosphere full of creation.

Study Plan at *****University （这段从personal statement摘录就OK了，稍微简洁点哦）
In the first year, **************************************************

In the second year, **************************************************

Besides focusing on one field of interest, it is indispensable for me to keep a ready eye on what is happening outside of my research field, which can **************************************8. For example, ************************************************************



My Financial Support in the U.S.
l         My Financial Status
My savings nearly USD $**********, including RMB ￥********** in **********Bank, and RMB ￥**********in **********Bank,(by conversion rate of RMB ￥766.63 to USD $100.00 on June 4, 2007), will be my firm foundation of studying and living in ********** for two years. （呵呵，人民币以后还要升值呢！）

l         Cost of Study and Living in the U.S.
The estimated cost of attendance for the 2007-2008 academic year at *****University is USD $**********, including tuition, fees and living expense. Therefore, my financial status is sufficient to afford my study and living in the U.S.

My Future Career Plan in China
l         China Leapfrogging to Become Major Media Nation (我们中国以后可强大了，你们老美不算什么！)
No doubt, the best choice for me is coming back to China after graduation and engaging in new media field, because China is leapfrogging to be a global leading media country and new media will play a key role in China’s future (quoted from a new research report issued by Morgan Stanley on China's media). （Morgan Stanley 说的，VO你敢不信嘛？）

l         Lack of New Media Artists in China
I hope I will be an outstanding new media planner or producer in some famous media groups. If possible, I will set up my own media studio with my classmates. China’s media industry lacks new media artists like me. Why? First, although media industry will be one of the fastest growing industries in China, China’s media industry is still at an early growth stage, especially new media industry. Second, high-quality content providers will enjoy stronger negotiating powers in the value chain of China's media industry. Third, some famous businesses in the new media industry and software development from the United States and Europe have signed contracts of intention or agreements to invest in the National New Media Industry Base. Therefore, a media planner or producer who has new and unique ideas, the most advanced techniques, and proficient English communication ability must be welcomed in China.

l         Opportunities and Challenges in China
More importantly, both the Olympics Games 2008 in Beijing and the Shanghai World Expo 2010 in Shanghai will promote China’s new media industry greatly as well as test it heavily. When I return to China in 2009, numbers of opportunities and challenges will wait for me. I look forward to that day.

（最后祝我的祖国繁荣昌盛，我还会回来的！）怎么感觉像猪八戒在高老庄离别时，对小姐说的话？
